The present invention relates to a modulator of the Smoothened (Smo) receptor capable of altering cellular glucose uptake for use in the treatment of a disease, wherein (a) the modulator is an activator of the Smoothened (Smo) receptor capable of increasing cellular glucose uptake and is for use in the treatment of diabetes, glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, obesity, overweight, sepsis and diseases associated therewith; or (b) wherein the modulator is an inhibitor of the Smoothened (Smo) receptor capable of decreasing cellular glucose uptake and is for use in the treatment of hypoglycaemia. Further, the invention relates to a method of altering the glucose uptake, the lactate level, the NAD+/NADH ratio and/or the NADP+/NADPH ratio of a cell and a method of identifying a modulator of the Smoothened (Smo) receptor capable of altering the glucose uptake, the lactate level, the NAD+/NADH ratio and/or the NADP+/NADPH ratio of a cell. Also, the invention relates to a method of increasing uptake of glucose or a glucose analogue labelled with a detectable moiety.
本发明涉及一种能够改变细胞葡萄糖摄取的 Smoothened (Smo) 受体的调节剂,用于治疗疾病,其中(a)调节剂是能够增加细胞葡萄糖摄取的 Smoothened (Smo) 受体的激活剂,用于治疗糖尿病、葡萄糖不耐受症、高血糖症、肥胖症、超重、败血症和与之相关的疾病;或 (b) 其中的调节剂是能够减少细胞葡萄糖摄取的 Smoothened(Smo)受体抑制剂,用于治疗低血糖症。此外,本发明还涉及一种改变细胞葡萄糖摄取、乳酸盐水平、NAD+/NADH 比率和/或 NADP+/NADPH 比率的方法,以及一种鉴定能够改变细胞葡萄糖摄取、乳酸盐水平、NAD+/NADH 比率和/或 NADP+/NADPH 比率的 Smoothened (Smo) 受体调节剂的方法。此外,本发明还涉及一种增加葡萄糖或标记有可检测分子的葡萄糖类似物摄取量的方法。
